Scheherazade

by Richard Siken

Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake                                       and dress them in warm clothes again.          How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running until they forget that they are horses.                    It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,          it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio,                  how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple                                                              to slice into pieces. Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it’s noon, that means          we’re inconsolable.                                Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. These, our bodies, possessed by light.                                                                 Tell me we’ll never get used to it.

WINGS OF DESIRE (1987) dir. Wim Wenders

Sometimes I’m fed up with my spiritual existence. Instead of forever hovering above I’d like to feel a weight…to tie me to Earth. I’d like, at each step, each gust of wind, to be able to say, ‘now’…and no longer ‘forever’ and ‘for eternity.’

Piranesi (2020) Susanna Clarke

Roughs for a portfolio project. Insofar as I know there is no plan to develop Piranesi into a graphic novel, but I have some cool ideas for if they ever did.

I feel like this drawing does not adequately convey the fact that Waffles weighed 17 pounds.
